Forward Rui Hachimura reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Clippers on July 6, then quickly turned to social media to thank Los Angeles Lakers supporters for their backing during his time in purple and gold.
In a brief post described by the New York Post as “heartfelt,” the 26-year-old expressed gratitude to Lakers fans and the organization, saying their support meant a great deal to him. He added that he is looking forward to the next chapter of his career across town with the Clippers.
Contract terms were not released at the time of the announcement. The move ends Hachimura’s stint with the Lakers and deepens the rivalry between the two Los Angeles franchises as the NBA prepares for the 2026-27 season.
